Relax, it's just a joke given how the image essentially is "communist is when many trains, capitalism is when one bad train". Making a reference to Mussolini, one of the most famous liberals of all time is always gonna be funny
pretty much how I got into my first relationship lmao
It's not even that, given how there's a decent chunk of their economy owned by private individuals
It's not a stretch, it's outright false to call it communism or socialism, systems which necessitate the abolishment of capitalist mode of production (commodity production, private ownership, markets) and money. China, meanwhile, literally has billionaires, still produces things under capitalist mode of production and the only oddity it has compared to other Capitalist countries is partially nationalized economy (which Mussolini has also done, it's not socialism by itself).
It's just a social democracy.
Communism is when trains run on time
"Trad" likely refers to legal guardianship of the past, where women were essentially the property of men with no legal autonomy.
Yeah, it's a play on the fact that modern day China and its "socialist qualities" that ML's use to claim the country is socialist are remarkably similar if not identical to how fascist Italy worked.
Critical support to Mussolini for nationalizing the economy/means of production (it's called socialism liberal you wouldn't get it)
Coal mining is awesome though, not sure why anyone would learn how to do coding instead
Would YOU make out with trotski?? 😳
I'm gangsta like that
AI's current form is shaped by capitalist interests just like most other technological advancement under this system, so it is in a way a byproduct of it, I agree. Still, a lot of the problematic parts that people complain about are consequences of the system's inherent incentives, rather than something new AI creates.
The assertion that it's some kind of a plot to destroy humanities such as arts is something I've always found to be questionable. Many Anti-AI people portray the creation of art as something people do purely for fun as a form of expression and different from labor, but that's simply not true. Pretty much every artist has to rely on Patreon backers, commissions, streaming their process for donations to get by, there's a direct incentive to draw what's popular or makes money rather than what one wants to draw for fun. In other words, art has been commodified already which makes it no different from other kinds of labor and it is what AI art essentially tries to replace not unlike how textile mechanization replaced manual sewing for the masses. Despite that, hand-sewing for more niche clothes or items is still alive and well, and I doubt AI will end up killing off the purely-for-the-passion types of art, even if it sadly ends up decreasing the number of artists actively practicing their craft.
As for the ease of access, I fully agree - deepfakes, content for misinformation and the like have been on the internet for a while, and AI turbocharges the amount of these that can be produced making the situation much worse. It's definitely one of the only good anti-AI arguments.
Probably satire, still funny given how it's the mindset of most liberals even today.
My god, stop putting words in my mouth that I'm some kind of anti-communist as a whole due to not recognizing China as being Socialist. Sorry for viewing things through historical materialism and it not passing the sniff test I guess.
That comment was referring to the private model which, you're right, is not the exact same in execution but it's remarkably similar in principle given both systems' state dominance in key economic areas with the co-existence of private ownership.
Fascist Italy did hold a significant portion of state ownership in heavy industry/shipbuilding/banking/infrastructure by 1930, so it wasn't entirely driven by private ownership. China economy isn't necessarily public either (at least depending on who you ask) given how it's state owned with state acting as the surplus-extracting capitalist and having the final say rather than collectivized and owned by the workers.
